The sun was setting as we walked back home on the bike trail along the river. Toby was in tears the whole way - repeatedly telling me that he and his stuffed "baby kitty" wanted to go back to the park. I told him we had to go home because it was getting dark. He pleaded with me to, "Make it daytime again Mama. Make it daytime again."
I love him so much. I wish I could give him everything that he wanted, but know in my heart, that I can't and that I shouldn't, and yet, I still feel guilty about things that I know are stupid to feel guilty about, like making my son leave the park at the end of the day.
If I could, I'd like to give up guilt for lent.
